Countless Women Have Been Raped At This For-Profit Jail in Texas

Countless women have been raped by male guards at the for-profit Karnes County Residential Center in Karnes City, Texas.
The male guards have open access to women detainees’ cells. Any time,
day or night, guards can enter women’s cells and abuse them.

The Karnes County Residential Center is a jail, a prison that is
called a “holding center” for undocumented immigrants. Because so few
are able to get a glimpse inside of jails of this nature, the guards are
more or less allowed to do whatever they want.
Prisoners there say that it is “an environment of rape and
harassment,” which forces them to perform “sexual favors” in exchange
for basic necessities which guards say are “favors”.
Geo Group Inc., the corporation that runs the jail facility for
undocumented immigrants, denies the allegations, calling their prison
“family friendly.”
“The Karnes County Residential Center provides a safe, clean, and
family-friendly environment for mothers and children awaiting required
processing by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency,” the
Geo Group’s vice president of corporate relations, Pablo Paez, attempted
to justify.
